Over the River

I finished my "Over the River" quilt yesterday. It was machine pieced and hand embroidered and hand quilted with Baptist fans.The first photo is a closeup of the embroidery I did last winter. The second photo is a photo of the label on the back of the quilt. This is the first time I remembered to attach the label first so it could be quilted into the quilt. I am pleased with how it turned out. The pattern is by Crabapple Hill Design. I am so glad that I got this one completed in time to hang for the holidays.

You got this quilted in one month??? Wow, I'm impressed. It takes me longer to do a table runner! It's beautiful, this is the first time I"ve seen this pattern hand quilted, I love B.F.'s for any type of top! Nice job.

I followed a link someone posted (maybe you?) over on the fb hand quilting page, & was delighted to see this quilt! I'm in the process of making it, just bought the material for the piecing yesterday. My two girls (12 & 14) are doing the embroidery for it. It is a beautiful quilt!

Yes, it was me! I love this quilt and was very pleased how it turned out. I also love the way the the babtist fans worked on it like big snow drifts. It is a great way to get an equal amount of quilting throughout the quilt. Sometimes that is hard to do when embroidery is involved.
